Primary ExaminerFloyd D. Higel Attorney-Plumley, Tyner and Sandi:

wherein K is a monovalent cation, 1 is a monoazo dyestuff of the formula C 0 OH and II is a monoazo dyestuff of the formula HO-C N COOH \N/ CHROMIUM MIXED COMPLEX AZO DYESTUFFS It has been found that valuable chromium mixed complex dyestuffs are obtained by chroming a monoazo dyestuff of the formula in which A represents an optionally substituted aryl radical, and in which an optionally substituted sulfonic acid amide group stands in at least one of the radicals A and B,

in admixture with the monoazo dyestuff of the formula in E\g'hich K denotes a monovalent cation, such as Na K and Li The monoazo dyestuffs on which the process is based are obtained in known manner; the dyestuffs of the formula (I) are obtained, for example, by coupling diazotised Z-amino-lcarboxybenzene-4-sulfonamide or its derivatives substituted on the sulfonamide nitrogen, such as Z-amino-I-carboxybenzene-4-sulfomethylamide, -isopropylamide, -dimethylamide and -methyl-hydroxyethylamide, preferably in a weakly acidic to alkaline range, with an acetoacetic acid arylamide, or by coupling diazotised l-aminobenzene-Z-carboxylic acid with an acetoacetic acid-(sulfonamidophenyl)-amide under the same conditions. As acetoacetic. acid arylamide, acetoacetic acid phenylamide is preferred which may contain in the phenyl nucleus nonionic substitutents, such as halogen (Cl, Br), lower alkyl and alkoxy groups as well as optionally substituted or acylated amino and sulfonamide groups.

The preparation of the monoazo dyestuff (II) by alkaline to weakly acidic coupling of iZ-aminobenzoic acid with l-phenyl- 3-methyl-5-pyrazolone is known from the literature.

The dyestufi's (I) and (ll) are preferably used in approximately equimolar amounts for chroming the mixture.

Chroming is effected according to known methods, for example, by the action of chromium salicylato complexes, or by the treatment with chromates in the presence of reducing carbohydrates, or with chromiumIll-chloride in ethylene glycol and formamide.

In the case of a stepwise synthesis of the new dyestuffs, the conversion of the dyestuff (1) into the 1:1 chromium complex is effected according to known methods. Those methods are advantageous which are carried out at temperatures of 100 -l50 C., in an open vessel or under pressure, in organic solvents, such as ethylene glycol, with simple chromium salts, such as chromiumlIl-chloride, in a weakly acidic range (e.g. according to the process of German Pat. Specification No. 479,373).

The reaction of the 1:1 chromium complex compounds thus obtainable with the metal-free dyestuffs (ll) is carried out in an aqueous or organic medium, in a weakly acidic, neutral or, advantageously, in a weakly alkaline range, in the presence of acid-binding agents, such as sodium acetate, sodium carbonate or a dilute sodium hydroxide solution.

The new asymmetric chromium complex dyestuffs are yellow to orange-colored powders. They are eminently suitable for the dyeing and printing of nitrogen-containing fiber materials, in particular, wool, silk, synthetic polyamides and polyurethanes. Dyeings of clear yellow shades are obtained which exhibit very good fastness properties.

Those of the new dyestuffs are especially preferred which are obtained by mixed chroming the following monoazo dyestuffs:

l. a. l-amino-Z-carboxybenzene-S-sulfonamide acetoacetic acid anilide, and b. l-aminobenzene-Z-carboxylic acid l-phenyl-3- methyl-S-pyrazolone, or

2. a. 1-aminobenzene-2-carboxylic acid acetoacetic acid- (2 -,3 or -4 -sulfonamidophenyl-)amide, b. l-aminobenzene-2-carboxylic acid l-phenyl-B- methyl-S-pyrazolone.

In the following examples the parts by weight to parts by volume stand in the ratio of kilogram to liter; the temperatures are given in degrees centigrade.

EXAMPLE 1 32.2 Parts by weight of the monoazo dyestuff l-carboxy-2- aminobenzene l-phenyl'3-methyl-pyrazolone-5 and 40.4 parts by weight of the monoazo dyestuff l-carboxy-2-aminobenzene-4-sulfonamide acetoacetic acid anilide are mixed by stirring in 40 parts by volume ethylene glycol and 200 parts by volume formamide, treated with 28 parts by weight chromiumIlI-chloride (CrCl 6 H O) and the mixture is heated to Chroming is efiected at 105 for 4 hours, the reaction mixture is cooled to 90 and introduced into 4200 parts by volume of water at 45 and 56 parts by volume of a 40 percent by volume sodium hydroxide solution. The dyestuff is precipitated by strewing in 10 percent common salt. It is filtered off with suction and dried at 50 in a vacuum.

The resultant chromium complex dyestuff is a yellow-brown powder which dissolves inwater and dyes wool from an acidic to neutral bath in fast yellow shades.

EXAMPLE 2 40.4 Parts by weight of the monoazo dyestuff lcarboxy-2- amino-benzene-4-sulfonamide acetoacetic acid anilide are mixed by stirring in 140 parts by volume ethylene glycol and 28 parts by weight of crystalline chromiumIII-chloride (CrCl 6 H O), the mixture is heated to -ll30 and this temperature is maintained for 2 hours. It is then cooled to 90 parts by volume formamide are added, 32.2 parts by weight of the monoazo dyestuff I-carboxy-2-amin.obenzene rl -phenyl- 3-methyl5-pyrazolone are introduced and the temperature is raised to 105 ll0. This temperature is maintained for a further 2 hours, the mixture is then cooled to 80 and the reaction solution poured into 4000 parts by volume of water. The chromium complex dyestuff is precipitated by strewing in 5 percent common salt, and the paste is dried at 50 in a vacuum.

The resultant 1:2 chromium complex azo dyestuff dyes wool from an organic acidic to neutral bath in yellow shades.

EXAMPLE 3 32.2 Parts by weight of the monoazo dyestuff l-carboxy-Z- amino-benzene l-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone and 40.4 parts by weight of the monoazo dyestuff l-carboxy-Z-aminobenzene r acetoacetic acid-(4 -sulfami.do)-anilide are stirred into 200 parts by volume formamide and 50 parts by volume ethylene glycol, 30 parts by weight chromiumlll-acetate are added and the mixture is heated to 105 The reaction mixture is kept at 105 for 4 hours and then poured into a mixture of 4000 parts by volume of water and 600 parts by weight of common salt. The precipitated chromium complex dyestuff is filtered off with suction and dried at 50 in a vacuum. it is a yellow-brown powder which dyes wool from an organic acidic to neutral bath in fast yellow shades.
